That 2-3" lift will not be enough for long. I waited a while, and did that. I was running the bj spacers with 1.5" rear lift shackles and 1.5" AAL's and no look what happened to my rig: 
At least I never wasted my money on an IFS lift kit.

Thanks. It has come a long way and I have spent a lot of time building it up. I have a 98 Tacoma 2RZ engine, 87 turbo tranny, and Marlin Crawler Dual Ultimate setup waiting to go in.

There are pics on Webshots if you click on my pic in this thread. It is a variation of the one that OldSven did for his Tacoma. Mine was built by the guy that built the front and rear bumpers and my sliders. http://www.badlandbumpers.com

so I ordered my BJ spacer yesterday and am looking about doing a diff drop as well to correct my CV angle...can I just use some washers and new bolts or do I have to get an actual kit?

Just seems like a lot of work for under 3inches of lift. Seems like the add a leaf with new springs and a shackle lift would get better flex than the blocks you are running

You could always get some of the 56" long rear springs from Marlin, All Pro, Trail Gear, etc. You just have to weld on some new front spring hangers forward of the original ones.
